The history that harvested Javier Mascherano in his go through the FC Barcelona does not limit only to his excelsa experience like footballer. Now that the 'The Jefecito' hanged the booties, began a new stage in his career, but with the Barcelona stamp stamped in the skin. This same image is the one who poses to print him to the juvenile selections of Argentina, as it will do charge of the Department of Methodology and Development of the AFA. And like mate of this new adventure, chose to a Catalan that left his footprint during a decade in The Masia, Oscar Hernández.
The same Mascherano commented in the complex of the AFA: "it Is a Catalan boy that knew while it played in Barcelona. It was 10 years working here and implemented the methodology of the basic football of the club. It has vast experience to help us to execute all the model that want for the Selection".
Hernández put to disposal of all the knowledges obtained in his go through the Catalan institution between 2007 and 2017. Likewise, the another key man that will form part of the operation led by Mascherano in the Selection is a preparador physical: Pablo White, that knew to win the recognition in his go through the technical body of Alejandro Sabella, local champion and of America with Students of the Silver, besides went runner-up of the World with Argentina in Brazil 2014. To him it chose it the Boss because "it knows a lot the culture of the Selection".
It does hardly some days Mascherano assumed the charge, but still had not expressed publicly with details on his new role. Now it specified: The function will be to give him a structure to all the juvenile selections following a line of training and a same model of game, of course always consensuado with the trainers of each category".
Bernardo Romeo will work like the right hand of Javier (ex goleador of Saint Lorenzo and Students, champion Sudamericano and World-wide Sub 20 in 1997, with past in the Mallorca and in the Osasuna). Now it assumes the charge of General Coordinator of the Juvenile Selections. His plan is to mount centres of training in all Argentina.
Mascherano Looks to the Barcelona
This idea already was put on the table, the conversations in this regard they had developed previously between Claudio wall, president of the AFA, and the footballer with more parties in the history of the selection albiceleste, while this played in the Chinese football. Now it is time that the boss go in to comandar, but with the always put look in the Barcelona.
